Gay Rocinha
Brasil's largest shanty town threw its first gay pride parade yesterday. Lots of great photos here.
I'm so happy that, from what I hear, it was a large, peaceful and successful event. I'm so used to hearing about violence and crime in Rio de Janeiro - it's a nice change to see a particular neighbourhood with a bad reputation putting on an event that goes well.
